Episode Details

The Scottish Portrait Awards 2026 shortlist is out, spotlighting 180 emerging and established artists whose powerful, diverse portraits—from family and athletes to LGBTQ+ communities—will debut at the National Galleries starting November 18. This ninth annual event, now partnered with the Scottish Arts Trust, celebrates 187 selected pieces from nearly 2,500 entries across Fine Art, Photography, and the new animated portraits category. Young talents like 18-year-old Robyn Jenkins are thrilled to see their work in such a prestigious space. Winners, announced in November, each receive £5,000 and a commission for Scotland’s national collection. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a vibrant, human portrait of Scotland’s creative soul.
